Yeah, it looks like they want a QA automation engineer, a web dev, and an ops person, all rolled into one. Oh, and someone with no personal life, so they can work all those extra hours on "high visibility" projects.
Maybe they just want someone to do some of those things and say they "did" the others. Saying "Fine tuning" probably is just for the position advertisement and it really just means not clunky, junk, hardly running code.
In addition to the other replies, most of the work experience that this job offers are "resume killers". They make you look worse when applying for your next job. It's like taking a job doing ASP.Net Webforms with SilverLight components in VB.Net using WCF to build back end services.
It's kind of like this; If I could find a guy who could build Ferrari engines and build the chassis and hammer the bodies out of sheet metal and paint them and upholster them and sell them for what I want for them I could make a fortune.
holy shit - i guess i see it differently - seems like they want someone that can walk on water - knows all and sees all -
wants to work 24/7 - subsist on nothing but air - but maybe that's the norm expectation these days and i'm actually lucky to be a product manager
To be honest all of this and more (I also do devops and database work) is asked of me at my job. This doesn't seem like to outrageous of a job list to me.
I was in a similar position about 8 years ago - developer, net ops, DB administrator, dev ops. I programmed in C,C++,VB6,Perl, Java and did scripting with REXX. We also used both MySQL and SQL Server.
Went to find another job after being at the company for nine years thinking I was a "Jack of All Trades", not realizing that I was also "The Master of None." Except for C but that really didn't matter.
Since making that mistake, I started focusing on a fairly narrow fullstack.
To that point, we are operating very lean at my company and we need to setup a CI server soon that integrates with AWS. My manager asked me did I know how to do it.
I've copied and modified pre-existing Jenkins build pipelines that someone else created, I know enough on high level to know what I want and I could figure it out, but I am also responsible for architecting a major project.
The less mature cowbow me would have taken the CI setup on as an interesting diversion. The older more mature architect me, reached out to a former coworker who specializes in dev ops, asked him was he interested in a short term after hours/weekend contract to set up Jenkins and gave the proposal to my manager.
Anything on the periphery that I think I can outsource to managed services or bring in a part time contractor - that I know and trust - i do it.
Coincidentally, these are my favorite resorts to stay in, in Mexico / Cancun. If I can go this year, I want to stay at Secrets in Maroma Beach Riviera.
Maybe I should apply; odds of scoring a free or discounted trip? haha.
Reading the different comments here it seems there are two ways to look at this job listing, is it 'all at once' or 'any of the above'. I read it as they wanted someone who was pretty broad in the web stack and could write clean testable Java code. My guess is that on any given day you might use two or maybe three of their 'essential skills' while you worked through re-plumbing their technology on top of AEM.
By my reading its pretty much the Web developer equivalent of the system administrator job.
I love how they want someone with experience or at least exposure to a dozen technologies. Plus they want someone who is able to pick up new technologies quickly... Why not just list that last one? If I can pick up new technologies quickly, exposure to those others don't really mean much
ha, yeah. Like job spec on 'seek' last week they wanted at least five years commercial experience with react js. Rofls all around. Someone must have a time machine and got the job as the ad is not there anymore.
For me the craziest is this ... I think they troll :P

The key to finding good employees is finding out what people are truly good at and the key to productivity is letting them do that.

"Willingness to contribute extra effort or hours outside business hours for high-visibility projects"
Yep. On top of everything else they want to dump on your shoulders there they also want you to work overtime for free.
Hilarious.
The exposed raw html in their job description is probably a sign that whomever made it was so tired it just looks normal to them. I know the feeling.
